the ''Prohis" and the friends Of license the
"Antis."

Mr.. Charles Francis Adams's record as

years and half is: SS,O00,OoO applied to the
floating debt-which has simply been wiped

A Massachusetts jury has rendered YER
dict of damages for woman whose husband
received injuries in consequence OF his be-
coming intoxicated in the saloon of the de-
PENDANT. There have been several trials of
this case, and it has been supposed, that in
asmuch as the wife had not served upon the
liquor dealer formal notice not to sell or
give her husband liquor, she could not re-
cover. But the jury has now given her dam
ages, and thus has established the principle
that previous notice not to sell or supply is
not an essential condition preliminary to
bringing suit

CURRENT COMMENT.
KITTERY STILL REPUBLICAN.
Dnn.trrnnntl Chrnnicln


1t was for good many years asserted-and
very loudly asserted toby the Democrats
of this region, that kittery was really DEM
ocratic town at heart, and was only kept III
the Republican column by navy yard tyran-
nv and corruption. The Democracy have
been running the navy yard in their own
way for two years past, but the overWhelm-
ingly Democratic sentiment of Kittery,
which was so long repressed by tie unscru-
pulous Republicans who managed the navy
yard, does not seem 10 naterialize to any
marked degree. Judging from the result Of
last Mondays election
THE END OF GREAT EXPECTATIONS.
The Independent.
Has President Cleveland met the high ex-
pectati0ns of his party? No, he has not met
the expectations Of any party, and has no en-
thusiastc friends anywhere, except among
his newly appointed officeh0lders.
Has the Democratic party under Cleveland
made any progress whatever IN redeemng It's
| solemn pledges to ''unearth the stupendous
frauds of the Republican partyY No, 1t
| has not moved an inch or done a single act
to show the people that any "stupendous
frauds" ever existed.
Has the party reduced taxation? No, not
a single dollar.
Has the party reduced what it called the
ubiquitous tariff" No, and it is not likely
to do so. Indeed, it dare not make the at
tempt to do so, and it probably will not dur

What has the party done in two years to
fulfil its campaign promises? Nothing what

Mr.. George 1. Kimball thinks tits a little

Mr.. George l.. Kimball thinks tits ''little
cooP' for the PRESS to say that the opposi-
ton Of the Democrats to the high license bill
now pending in the New York Legislature
''shows their hopeless slavery to the sa-
looms" He says the temperance organiza-
tions are opposing it also. That is true. But
does Mr.. Kimball mean to assert that the
same motives that are beneath the opposition
Of the temperance men are inspiring the
Democrats? The temperance organizations
have opposed it because they considered it
a compromise with evil. which their con-
sciences could not approve. Does Mr.. Kim
ball mean to be understood that the Demo-
Gratis have been spposing it for that reason?
II he does, and his view is correct, then the
PRESS was wrong in saying that their oppo-
sition to the bill showed their hopeless sa-
very to the saloons. IL Mr.. Kimball believes
that this was their motive, or thinks they OPP
posed the bill because it was not strong and
sweeping enough let him say so. If he does
not think that either of these was the reason
let him tell us whath does think it was. The
Argus will undoubtedly grant him all the
space he needs for this purpose.

Canadian PreparatIons.

The Canadians are making great prepare
lions for the coming fishing season, if the
accounts of their newspapers are to be cred.
ited These preparations are of two very
different kinds, and when considered in con-
nection with all the circumstances are fully
as laughable as formidable. In the first
place they are preparing their feet which is
to watch the Yankee fishermen. The cruis-
ers are expected to commence work by the
middle of April. These are the vessels, the
crews and the ornaments that our fishermen
may expect to find proving around Nova
Scotia and Prince Edward Island when they
go down that W ay to catch the cod and the
mackerel on the high seas outside of the
three mile limit.
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1887-03-31

To this formidable fleet of junks it is said
that three English men-of-war from the
North American squadron will be added,
though the Canadian papers very demurely
observe that these are not expected to take
active part at first in the capture Of Ameri-
can fishing vessels" The last three schoon-
ers on the list Of the Provincial fleet are not
expected to get to work before the middle of
May.
This is what the Canadian government is
-uoIng to watch the "piraticap' American
fishermen, who flock to those regions, main
ly from Gloucester. What the Canadian
people are doing we will let Nova Scotia
paper, the Cape Sable Advertiser, tell:
The number Of men leaving these shores to seek
employment in the United States Is much larger
already noted, one schooner carried 98 fishermen
from the harbors TO the westward, to man the
Gloucester feet. Last week twelve more left

over one hundred others will have departed from
the last named place alone, as crews for Ameri-
can vessels, while our own schOoners will have
" nc loie or be hauled up for want of crews.
NO one seems willing TO make any extensive out
lays Tor prosecuting the fisheries here, and near
in the same work abroad. The SITUATION is one 10

Will the harvest be, but none can give an answer.
Well might gentleman as he watched the de.
parting crowds. going almost like exiles exclaim
"Is there not something radically wrong IN the
state of things which compels these young and Wig
OrOus men TO leave their native LAND and by their
labor help enrich the stranger and build i'm the
fortune Of the foreigners" Assuredly there is,
and one day. not In the distant future either that
wrong which is treated so lightly by the political
puppets, will come home TO the authors Of il as
rather serious matter.
While the Canadian government prepares
to watch the Yankee vessels, the Canadian
fishermen are Fastening to man those same
vessels, because in the United States they
can make more money for themselves and
families. Canadian fishing vessels are
hauled up, because, as there is no market for
the fish, it does not pay to use them. Does
this tend to show that we need the privilege
Of fishing within the three-mile limit more
than the Canadians need our markets? Our
fishermen say there is fishing enough outside

the three.mile limit, and their preparations
for the coming season are so ample, in spite
OF the prospect of more vexatious denials of
commercial privileges, that the Canadians
are docking here by the hundreds to paItici-
pate in the profits. So far there is no indi-
cation that we shall be forced to another re-
ciprocity arrangement, or another award.

The Toronto Globe raises the point against
our new extradition treaty with Russia that
1t has a provision for extraditing persons who
embezzle to the detriment of their employ
ers, but none for bringing to justice those
who embezzle from their employees. Yet the
latter is common offence, and one INJECTING
serious loss on many who can i'll afford it, A
contractor, for instance, runs away with the
amount of his last estimate l. e., with the
wages Of his men. he cannot be brought
back under the treaty, but if his clerk en-
bezzled 5000 the case would be one for extra
dition. As comparatively few criminals go
to Russia this defect il it exists, will not
probably cause much inconvenience. But
when the iAaext exfraqition treaty between
the United States and The British Empire is
made there must be no such hole through
which embezzlers may crawl into Canada.

PELE, "HALE MAUMAU, y


which is another fiery lake ABOUT equal
in size to the "New Lake." But unlike
it, it is never quiet-is ever restIessly
sending up its pillars of lava in one
part or another. AS we looked, fount-
aims and jets of fiery lava would break
up through the dull leaden crust and
like little children wild with gIee, dance
gaily around the confines of their
prison walls as il impatient of restraint.
THOUGH making no such grand exhi-
Dition of its powers as the New Lake,
Hale .Maumau is wilder and more weird
in its surroundings. The cone surrounds
1t in three concentrlc circles and the
Jagged sides of the bounding cliffs steam
with vapors and sulphureus smoke
from numberless crevices and assures.
At the south end was a wild gorge
extending beyond our vision in clouds
of heavy smoke and vapor. The active
imagination could readily associate it
with the idea of the awful gateway to
the Christian hell If in this awful
scene of terror and desolation the
Christian can imagine his fiery lake of
torrents, is it any wonder that the
savage imagination peoples it with his
gods-or devils, and sees here the abode
of Pele, the consuming goddess, insatia-
bic as her elements, the fire itself?
